Add ‘allow empty’ for ‘File Usage’ Views Filters

Problem/Motivation

In Views, it’s currently not possible to filter File Usage fields (module, type, id, and count) by either ‘Is empty (NULL)’ or ‘Is not empty (NOT NULL)’.

Proposed resolution

Add ‘allow empty’ => TRUE to these definitions for Views.

For example:

    $data['file_usage']['module'] = [
      'title' => $this->t('Module'),
      'help' => $this->t('The module managing this file relationship.'),
      'field' => [
        'id' => 'standard',
       ],
      'filter' => [
        'id' => 'string',
+        'allow empty' => TRUE,
      ],
      'argument' => [
        'id' => 'string',
      ],
      'sort' => [
        'id' => 'standard',
      ],
    ];

    This issue is being reviewed by the kind folks in Slack, #needs-review-queue-initiative. We are working to keep the size of Needs Review queue [2700+ issues] to around 400 (1 month or less), following Review a patch or merge request → as a guide.

    Tried replicating in D10 with a standard install
    Uploaded 2 images, 1 attached to a node the other not.
    Edited the files view to filter by file usage with setting not null
    I see 1 file that's attached to node

    Edit the files view to filter by file usage with setting null
    I see 1 files that's not attached to node

    This appears to work could someone else verify.
    If still a valid feature request it will need a test case to show the issue.
